Ah ok that makes sense. How much time do you get? I could just spread it out so that I'll have enough to start on the 18th and go into Friday.

10 hours if you haven't used it at all or however much you have left over sense you started playing from the 12th.

I have 3 hours left right now and trying to decide what to do.

Heard rumors there is a way to extend the 10 hours to 20 hours if you buy the full game.

Yea I think I'll do that and just play a little until next week.

Can you cancel any time with the origin access? Thinking about doing that so I can get an idea of everything on the PC since I've been used to going through these games with friends on console.
Ya, I just typed about that above.

I haven't touched a game since playing BF4 a couple years ago and wanted to try this out. It immediately shuts down my PC when I get into the game (like instant power off).. Windows logs show critical thermal event. I have an i5 2400 and a 7870, and things looks pretty dusty in there! I am going to clean out the machine and have another go... but I would say yes, this game is pretty taxing.
I also have an older system. Anandtech seems to have changed to remove the sigs where I had all my specs laid out. In fact the only game I've played for many years is the battlefield series. I only upgrade my PC just for this game, and I get incredible value out of my system. The game is working really well on my system, at least I am happy with it.

Those of you with EA Access how long does it take you all to load a map normally ?
Not too sure; maybe 30-45 seconds depending on if the map is changing. I'm usually looking at the EOR stats or menus while it is doing its thing in the background.

Try to avoid using the quickmatch option, it seems to be a bit broken or doesn't show you that you are in queue. If you leave while it is doing the matchmaking it will soft lock you in the globe screen. Use the server browser if you can.

I noticed that too. Had it happen twice.

I've gotten 3 crashes this hour, something to do with direct x, invalid command buffer, driver, and the GPU.

Just started my trial. It threw me in single player first but I didn't want to play that first. I noticed it was a bit sluggish, the player movement. Not sure if it's just me because in multiplayer it seems ok.

Video Presets are left where the game set them, ultra I believe. Seema alright so far.

Is the deluxe edition worth it? I'm definitely buying the game but I wasn't sure if it's really required to enjoy it better?

IMO, the only real reason to buy the deluxe edition would be to get the 3 day early access. The weapon skins and 5 battlepacks included in the deluxe version are pretty much useless.

Thanks that is what I was thinking too. I still have about 9 hours left of gameplay on the trial so I plan on saving some of that time until the 21st.

All the maps are playable today, and man some of them are absolutely stunningly gorgeous! LOL Those are words I usually reserve for women.

I'm glad I have about 7 hours left to play. I'm going to try and make it last until the 21st. I have so many unused vacation days that i have had to take off Fridays now for a month or more.

I played some rush last night and had a lot of fun. The maps do really look good but my only gripe is the areas where it's so smokey you can't see anything.
